Own Mythology

Own Norse Mythology

Once there was nothing, then something called Ragnarok. That then started everything in the world. There was once a giant named Ymir which created the world, once it was done.

 After he was done making peoples kingdoms he then decided to create gods so they could rule the Asgard. He created Odin and Frigga. They then birthed Thor, Baldur and Tyr. Odin then became the all father. Thor became the god of thunder, Baldur became the god of purity, Tyr became the god of war. Odin also had an adopted son called Loki. Loki was not like any other kid, he was treated differently because his parents weren’t the same as the other children. But, his adopted mother Frigga, loved him and taught him magic, and that's how Loki became the god of mischief. 

Out of Odin and Frigga’s children, Thor was the most loved because he was the real son of Odin. Thor was destined to become King of Asgard after Odin gets too old to rule Asgard. This made Loki very angry so he decided to pull some pranks on his brother Thor. Baldur knew about these plans but decided to stay out of the controversy between his brothers. Thor loved snakes so Loki decided to transform himself into a snake, once Thor saw the snake he went to play with it. But, as soon as Thor went to touch it Loki turned back into a human and stabbed Thor in the leg. After this had happened, Thor should’ve been injured for a few weeks but due to his mother's magic, it only took him a couple of days to be fully healed again.

Odin and Frigga didn’t know that Loki was pulling these pranks on Thor. But, Baldur decided to tell their parents about what was happening. Odin was furious at Loki for doing this to his favourite child. So, Odin punished Loki for what he was doing. Loki’s punishment was that he was bound in a dark cave with a very venomous snake placed above him. The venom from the snake dripped down onto Loki’s face. But, Loki was allowed to have his wife Sigyn in the cave with him, she would hold a bowl over his head so the venom doesn’t drop onto his face. But, one time she had to tip the venom out. But, a drop of venom hit Loki’s face and he screamed so loud that Odin could hear it. Once this had happened Loki’s hatred grew for the gods.

Once Loki got free of his bounds, he went to the giants to see if they would help him kill the gods of Asgard. The giants happily agreed to Loki’s plans. After a few hours of traveling through realms they finally got back to Asgard. They stormed Asgard killing everyone in sight. Leaving a trail of bodies behind them, Loki went straight to the palace so he could personally kill Odin, Thor and Baldur. He ended up killing Baldur because he was asleep. Thor barely escaped with his life. But, once Loki got to Odin. Odin was sitting in a chair waiting for Loki, Loki ended up killing him because all of the hatred that built up because of the venom from the snake. Frigga and Thor managed to get away.

Thor and Frigga went to Earth so they could start a life there so Loki couldn’t find them. Frigga changed their appearance so Loki wouldn’t recognize them. As a result of this, Loki is now the god of Asgard and the All father...

The 6 Sentence Story

Once upon a time there was a boy named Justin. Justin lives in a medium sized house with 3 bedrooms with his family. He has a special talent which lets him talk to ghosts/ spirits. Justin doesn't like having this talent because when ever goes out to places he can hear the ghosts which scared him. He feels this way because whenever he goes out he can hear them and it puts him off because he will be having a conversation with his friends and he can hear them. He solved this problem by contacting an adult with the same talent and he taught him how to use it properly.

Critical Literacy - Adverts

Today in English we have been learning about adverts that show people drinking. In the first video we watched it showed a group of white males going to a bar and one of the males was supposed to be the sober driver. But, he sneaked away to drink and when it came to driving home, he crashed and killed the passenger in the car. This is stereotyping that young white males are childish and go drink when they shouldn't. In the second video it shows us about Maori and PI (Pacific Islands) drinking so the main character thinks about if he should say something that could save his friends life, so he does speak up and makes his friend not drink while being drunk. This is stereotyping that Maori and PI drink a lot. In the third video it shows us that an older Maori or PI male drinks and drinks
